Updates on some Hot Topics for New York State
These are some of the activities planned for the Winter 2002 Annual Meeting of the New York Society of American
Foresters. The program promises to attract all foresters regardless of specific interest or job description.
In addition, we have reserved a block of tickets for the Syracuse Crunch Hockey Game Wednesday evening January
30th in Syracuse. Come early and join in some good winter enjoyment. Tickets are $13 and must be paid for with your
registration. We will assemble at the Holiday Inn at 6:00 p.m. Transportation to the game will be provided. Thursday evening, instead of a banquet, we encourage people to join others from their area of the State for dinner at
one of the many local restaurants to discuss chapter activities. Friday morning at the annual business meeting we will
be asking for brief reports on what (if anything) local NYSAF Chapters have been doing.
Continuing Forestry Education Credit:

innovative management programs, special activities are just some of the areas. Poster material should be designed to fit

NY SAF Winter Meeting- Workshop
New York SAF Winter Meeting
How Foresters Can Meet the Challenges of Tommorrow
Pre-conference Workshop
Financial Analysis in Forest Management
January 30, 2002
Objectives:
1. Provide a review of basic interest rate concepts
2. Illustrate the use of time value formulae in solving real-world problems
3. Review basic investment criteria of PNV, B/C, IRR, SEV
4. Show examples of applying investment criteria to forestry problems
By the end of the course it is expected that participants will be able to apply investment analysis to many different
problems in forest management. They will have a better understanding of the use of this set of tools in forest
management decision-making. Clients can be better advised of the tradeoffs and choices in forest management
alternatives.
Intended Audience: Foresters working in New York State and surrounding area as either private consultants, industry
foresters, or public employees.
Instructors: Dr. Hugh Canham, Dr. John Wagner, Professor and Associate Professor of Forest and Resource
